...and achieved second place in my individual subject. The subjects that I am best fit to help others with include: pre-algebra, algebra 1 & 2, geometry, pre-calculus, and ACT math. I have tutored several individuals in these subjects and have been told that my service has greatly improved their grades. I like to take a calm approach and utilize the person's strengths and learning abilities to derive a teaching method that will suit each individual....

...school and college eventually earning my B.A. in Classics. Upon graduating, I went on to teach Latin for three years. My principal would always cite my ability to motivate and inspire my students to enjoy learning. I have since been involved in other pursuits, but the passion for educating and mentoring students has never left me. I also tutor elementary Spanish and elementary math, and bring the same energy and expertise to those subjects. To...

...students...like me! Every great teacher I have had has shared one quality: they were all great communicators. They could breakdown overwhelmingly complex concepts into simple ones, tying every new lesson back to the foundations of the subject. They helped me develop study strategies that fit my learning style to improve my academic performance. Most importantly, they engaged me with the material, and encouraged me to find a personal connection to it. Not every student gets...

...hours, which students frequent above all for help with their papers. Whatever the stage of the writing process, I can pass on lots of practical knowledge hard-won from years of writing. For the other two years, I taught beginning Latin. I love teaching Latin. Students can tell that I am passionate about Latin (or whatever I’m teaching), and some of my enthusiasm rubs off on them. I have experience working with students at different levels...

...am looking forward to two productive months in Los Angeles spent tutoring, writing, and preparing for a career in academia. I have loved tutoring for years, and I have experience in a wide variety of contexts -- as a professional SAT and SAT II private and group instructor, as a Yale Writing and ESL Partner, and as a private Latin tutor, to name just a few. I have even had one or two less conventional...

...Computer Science and Drama, but while I'm not coding or acting I participate in loads of other activities including multiple sports, book clubs, board games, and more. I come from a family of educators (both my parents are teachers and I have uncles who have been deans and presidents of universities), and I love teaching and helping people learn as much as I can because I'm a lover of learning myself. I keep a very...

...school and get a degree either in Graphic Design or in Urban Planning. I am extremely passionate about interdisciplinary studies, especially where art and science/technology is concerned. I believe that art can be used as a tool for communication and social change both on micro- and macro-social scales. As far as tutoring is concerned, I have extensive experience teaching everything (and everyone) from piano to essay-writing to beginning chemistry. I hope to instill a love...

...Classics from the University of Arizona. I am currently working on completing my Ph.D. in Classics at the University of California, Irvine. I have tutored a variety of students, ranging from the elementary to the college level, for the past four years. I primarily tutor subjects relating to the Humanities, such as Ancient Languages, History, and English Composition. My favorite subject to tutor is Latin, since I regard Latin as the most beautiful and intricate...

...Angeles. I strongly believe that the key to improving in any subject area is in finding a way to associate the subject with one or more of your vital interests. Additionally, having a capable and enthusiastic guide to point out ways in which you can find or create an interest in a subject will help you progress quickly. I am prepared to be a guide for students in any of the areas that I have...

...the majority of my work comes in Latin and other Classical areas, and I've made it sort of a life's mission of mine to instill the same enthusiasm in my students about the ancient world as I have. I firmly believe that learning Latin is as valuable for one's development as a student and a scholar as Math or English Literature. I also understand that learning it, especially at the introductory levels, can occasionally be...
